Tooting rapist E-fit picture. Help: due in two weeks and husband having affair. Inheritance battle: children receive equal shares?

Dear NappyValleyNetter,

In January of this year we published our very first Design and Build Guide.

Packed full of information to help you plan your refurb./basement/kitchen/folly it’s been such a huge success that we’ve just ordered a reprint.

So if you missed out the first time, please do send ping your postal address by clicking this link, and I’ll pop a copy in the post.

And, as before, if there is anything you think we should do differently for the 2017 guide please do get in touch!

.

Here is what you’ve been talking about on NappyValleyNet:

An awful but important post, which I really must highlight: police officer Nathan Shickle has released an E-fit of a suspect in the Lucien Road (Tooting) rape. Please do share/help if you can (click here).

Arguments over inheritances can divide families and that’s exactly what has happened to WMS. A seven figure sum from a Great Aunt is causing issues amongst grown-up cousins, some believe it should be split by the number of children, not the parents (click here).

Sesim’s husband gave her a duvet as a wedding gift and a local dry cleaner has handed it out to another customer. She can’t get it back and is extremely upset. What might she do to retrieve the errant eiderdown? (click here)

SC has posted that she can’t stop thinking about the Syrian refugee crisis and especially the children? She’s considering setting up a group to help, would you join?(click here).

Beketan wonders what is happening to the Althorp on Bellevue Road? Is it going to be a Tootsies? Ok I’m showing my age!(click here)

Wmum was overpaid on maternity leave – what are her options? The first person to suggest a “name change, move to Panama and run and don’t look back” gets banned! (click here)

Are senior Labour leaders hypocritical? News broke this week that one is strongly campaigning AGAINST grammar schools but sends her own son to Dulwich College. Echoes of Abbott? (click here)

Is it possible to add an extra story to a house BTC, asks SZ? I’m assuming the answer applies to any “old” local Victorian or Edwardian houses not just BTC(click here)

PPS urgently needs a flat to rent for her nanny? Know the perfect pad for a (Mary) Poppins? (click here).

And on to happier subjects: “Mums of September Babies” there is a meet-up just for you!(click here).

JJ went through a pretty torrid divorce and now that she’s through to the other side she’s set up as a “divorce accountant”. I didn’t know this was “a thing” but it does make sense! (click here)

Fircroft School have posted details of their Christmas fair and they’re looking for stalls. It’s a gorgeous school and their events are always lovely so definitely worth a visit (click here). If you would like your own school’s fair called out please do post the details on our calendar.

And now we’re “doing the treble” of three amazing events: 1) Are you a yoga nut? Do you find it hard to find time to practise? Kula Community have posted details of their “yoga share” classes. Bring your children along and they can practise yoga at the same time but in another room. What an amazing way to spend Saturday mornings! (click here)2) Our friends at TP Fancy Dress (can you guess what they do!) have posted details of the Richmond “Trick or Treat” race. Show me a scary clown and I’ll beat the course record! (click here) 3) Sticking with that part of London, the wonderful Little Voices have just opened up in Teddington and to celebrate they’re hosting a FREE singing and drama workshop on the 10th of November (click here).
